Twilio is looking for an experienced Technical Account Manager who is going to be the designated technical support engineering contact for our strategic customers. As a dedicated support engineering contact you will work with our customers to resolve complex technical problems with potentially very costly and far-reaching consequences. You should have an interest in digging deep as well as be able to zoom out and look at the larger picture. The TAM delivers proactive guidance to the customer to provide added value through the use of Twilio technologies and deliver recommendations to make the customer’s environment less susceptible to business impacting downtime. You are able to remain calm and effective at higher workloads as well as excelling at prioritization and evaluation of situational urgency.

Plus............

Good knowledge of RESTful technology, previous work with APIs and ability to understand and troubleshoot issues with cloud solutions.

Skilled in troubleshooting network connectivity issues, with an understanding of TCP/UDP, and basics of SSL/TLS. Bonus: Understanding of WebRTC would be a HUGE plus.

High competency in communicating complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical audiences via phone or email mediums.

Interest in utilizing customer feedback to identify and drive improvements in our products.

Enthusiasm for interacting and collaborating with other departments within Twilio in your search for the solutions our customers need.

Ability to stand in the customer’s shoes and demonstrated dedication to the customer experience.

Advanced time management skills, ability to work well under pressure, and proficiency at developing workflows to increase troubleshooting efficiency while still following standard processes and procedures.

Excellence in task prioritization and evaluation of situational urgency.

A regular day in the life of a Technical Account Manager at Twilio would consist of working on the cases raised by specific customer's assigned to you and looking at ways to prevent future occurrences of such issues, while maintaining high customer relationship and helping them be successful using Twilio.

Some examples include: examining packet capture data and engaging one of our carriers to resolve a one-way audio issue in Germany, providing advice to a customer whose web server is not responding to HTTP requests from Twilio, and calling a customer to discuss the design of a function for transferring calls between agents in a call center.

As a TAM you will help customers understand the finer points of Twilio capabilities and influence them to implement best practices.

Work with our customers' and partners' developers, architects, and support personnel to resolve complex problems with potentially very costly and far-reaching consequences.

Collaborate with your teammates and the Twilio Product and Engineering teams via Slack as well as filing JIRAs to report reproducible bugs.

Understanding customer trends, analyzing patterns, driving betterments and reporting what you observe to the management team in order to better improve our support process is a key part of the role.

If you are excited about not only teaching others ‘how to fish’ but also how to fish at scale then this role is for you.
